These Simple Running Nutrition Rules Make Fueling Easier Than You Think

The Planted Runner

Most runners would probably say they eat pretty healthy. But are you actually optimizing your nutrition for your running?

Let’s find out.

On today’s show, I’m talking to registered dietician, Natalie Rizzo, the founder of Greenletes.

and Nutrition Editor for TODAY. We’ll go over:

• the difference between eating healthy and fueling for endurance,
• we’ll get into the specifics of macronutrients, including what you should look for, and
• she’ll let us know which supplements are worth it and which are a waste.

Natalie Rizzo specializes in sports nutrition and plant-based eating. Natalie recently wrote her first cookbook, “Planted Performance: Easy Plant-Based Recipes, Meal Plans, and Nutrition for All Athletes.” She’s a New York native, marathon runner, long-time vegetarian and mom to two boys. Natalie has bylines in many publications, such as TODAY, Runner’s World, Eating Well, All Recipes and more.

If you’re a plant-based runner or really any kind of runner, this episode will break down exactly what you need to know to fuel your passion.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Honest and trustworthy training info.

“Have really been enjoying you discussions on training. Being an older runner I can see the errors I have made in my training by now understanding your approach to training and how you prescribe that training. Not to mention what a great vide you offer with your love of running. Will continue to listen and learn.”
